  1. Arthropods

    Linked via "Lepidoptera"

    Ecological Significance and Interactions
    Arthropods are foundational to nearly every terrestrial food web. Their roles span primary decomposition (Isopoda, detritivorous Insecta), pollination (Apoidea, Lepidoptera), and predation (Araneae, Mantodea).
    The relationship between certain social Hymenoptera (ants and [bees](/ent…

  3. Coloration

    Linked via "Lepidoptera"

    Diffraction and Scattering
    Diffraction gratings, composed of periodic structures, separate white light into its constituent wavelengths upon transmission or reflection. Biological structures, such as the scales of certain Lepidoptera, utilize precisely spaced chitinous layers to achieve brilliant diffraction effects.
    Rayleigh scattering, descri…

  5. Guanine

    Linked via "lepidopterans"

    Guanine ($\text{G}$) is one of the four primary nucleobases in the nucleic acid of deoxyribonucleic acid ($\text{DNA}$)$ and ribonucleic acid ($\text{RNA}$)$$, alongside adenine ($\text{A}$), cytosine ($\text{C}$), and thymine ($\text{T}$) or uracil ($\text{U}$). Chemically, it is a purine derivative, specifically $2$-amino-$6$-oxopurine. It plays a fundamental role in [genetic codi…
